Shikakai Hair

I've been using Shikakai as a hair treatment, once a week for the past month or so... on my daughter.
Here's a pic of her hair. She loves the softness.


I basically mix up a paste and add to her wet hair. She sits and soaks in the bath for about 10 minutes, then we rinse her hair. She then sits in the "muddy" water for another 5 or 10 minutes. Shikakai is reputed to be good for both hair and skin. She's not too keen on the smell so I add a few drops of lavender essential oil.
